It seems to me very interesting : you have a better knowledge of OpenCMS 
than me, but I have much more time to work on stuff like that.

My company is currently planning to develop a website about Java and Open 
Source (in french). For this site, as you ay have guessed, we use OpenCMS 
and need an article module. So, I think I can develop further your work, if 
you give me precise development ways and issues.
Of course, this code will be released under an open-source license.
If ou agree with those terms, I suggest you to continue this discussion by 
mail, since the main OpenCMS list may not be the better place to discuss.
